I was a critical care nurse in big LA hospitals. FInally,finally someone got it true and right . Nurses are smart,complicated ,compassionate and right out there in the front lines training those new doctors.
This show has all the heart and soul of the field .Unlike the absent nurses in Greys’ Anatomy and if they are they are swooning over residents.
Bravo, brava
